...the President of the United States of America
U.S. Constitution - Article II
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, ....
It 'is' the President who should file the lawsuit, and claim that it was the President who was 'injured' from the fact that the 'rules' to appoint Electors were changed in such manner that was unconstitutional. This is a clear cut case. BUT, IT IS THE PRESIDENT who is the ONLY one that has STANDING to bring a case, since Article II pertains directly to his appointment.
I said the same thing to my wife earlier today. Trump could have done that way. He should have done it that way.
He joined in the Texas lawsuit... How could he not have standing??
POTUS is the chief law enforcement officer of the federal government so the whole ‘lack of standing’ con would be ludicrous to attempt by SCOTUS. That being said a clear majority if judges think that it is not the military’s job to control the border to prevent invasion, so depraved are our “betters” in DC.
What difference does it make? The court will STILL say there is “no standing” which is the new term meaning FVK YOU!
He could still do it.
Donald J. Trump and the American people who voted for him as plaintiffs. Against the governors, election officials and state legislatures of the offending states either caused or permitted fraud to deprive plaintiffs of their rights to a fair elections.
Then watch the responses by the offending states.
Well, we can dream.
If Pres Trump’s name was OBAMA, he would have standing.
If Trump’s 3 justices were afraid of Republicans and us Deplorables.....he would have had standing.
No doubt about it.....THEY DO NOT FEAR US, so our civil rights matter not.
We seem to be at a tipping point, but I still would not throw in the towel. Not at all.
I think all citizens have standing, and the USSC finding of no standing is establishment and cowardly BS.
If there really was vote rigging, as Freepers believe, then this is a criminal matter, not an issue for civil lawsuits - LAWSUITS THAT DONT EVEN ALLEGE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO RIG THE VOTE!
If there has been criminal vote rigging, then dont blame the Supreme Court for not taking some arcane civil cases that have nothing to do with any crimes. Blame law enforcement for not investigating and indicting. And I’m sorry, blame Trump and his team for not launching their MASSIVE investigation, including BIG REWARDS for whistleblowers who can name names and the specific crimes committed.
The swamp Has lost it’s natural fear of man....

I believe they indicated that “standing” was not the only reason it was dismissed.
The scoundrels claim there were other considerations.
My only thought is:
I hope to God I never have to be an American who has the right to sue the government.
And this, after being dissed by PA legislature, blatantly and with malice.
But SC Justices are too stupid to know when they have been disrespected and IGNORED.
What a country.
They would just put on their Super Superior black capes and find ANOTHER loophole that would prevent justice.
The Supreme Sham.
But didn't the DOJ say that prosecuting such criminal activity can take months (correctly so), and that civil cases would be a more expeditious route?
Right ON!!!!!
The USSC is not going to bail out the state legislatures from their responsibility to fix this themselves. If they do not have the backbone to do it, does not mean the Supreme can force them to follow the prescribed path. They do not need someone else to force what they can already do.
No because Trump has already been rejected by lower courts for lack of standing
